Physical & Mental Health

The York Alumnae Chapter has a long-standing history of promoting holistic wellness through workshops and events focused on heart health, nutrition, breast cancer awareness, and physical fitness—including walking and line-dancing.

In collaboration with Face-2-Face Ministries and Restoration Community Christian Church, led by Rev. D. Marie Tribble, YAC hosted over 50 virtual sessions addressing:

• Physical & Mental Health: Breast and heart health, meditation, and autism awareness.
• Emotional Well-being: Managing grief, combating stress, and overcoming imposter syndrome.
• Social Challenges: Addressing domestic violence and racism.

We also lead and support several key community initiatives:

• Health Advocacy: Partnered with WellSpan for breast health and COVID-19 webinars and participated in the March of Dimes Walk to prevent birth defects.
• Community Events: Co-sponsored a 2024 Health Fair at William Penn High School, serving over 1,000 attendees, and collaborated with Divine Nine Sororities to host a baby shower for expectant mothers.
• Direct Outreach: Delivered food and cleaning supplies to families and Bell Socialization Services, conducted wellness checks for Delta D.E.A.R.S., and supported the York YMCA toy and coat drives.
